Just after dawn, the world seems to hold its breath. The light spills softly, a cautious embrace of the day. I stand before the mirror, where echoes of yesterday whisper in hushed tones.
The glass reflects not just my image, but fragments of forgotten moments. The laughter of friends long seen only in dreams, the fleeting silhouettes of loved ones, fading with each passing spring.
I wonder if they too feel this pull of the past, this gentle tugging at the heart. In the mirror’s gaze, I see not only myself but the remnants of lives intertwined, now adrift in the soft morning glow.
Is it spring's promise that holds them here, or the eternal dance of light and shadow? Into the forest I go, seeking answers among the rustling leaves and quiet streams.
